The name Bapperstach was brought to
England in the wave of migration that followed the
Norman Conquest of 1066. The Bapperstach family lived in
Wiltshire where they held a
family seat from the 11th century. The family takes its name from a place called Baverstock in this area.
Early Origins of the Bapperstach family
The surname Bapperstach was first found in
Wiltshire at Baverstock, a small village and former civil parish. Conjecturally they were Lords of the manor of Baverstock, originally Babestoche, which was held at the time of the taking of the
Domesday Book Survey in 1086, by the Abbess of Wilton.

Migration of the Bapperstach family to the New World and Oceana
For many English families, the social climate in
England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. For such families, the shores of
Ireland,
Australia, and the New World beckoned. They left their homeland at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. Many arrived after the long voyage sick, starving, and without a penny. But even those were greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. Numerous English settlers who arrived in the United States and Canada at this time went on to make important contributions to the developing cultures of those countries. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Bapperstach were among those contributors: the family of Baverstock who landed in New
England in 1720.
